Freelance work is on the rise and long-term job security is declining. However, many people are not prepared for this new standard. All of our team had worked as freelancers at some point and had first-hand experience with the confusion and having no idea how to file our taxes.

A service that improves the workdays of freelancers. Freelance Planet consists of a desktop app that helps with time-tracking, scheduling, and efficiency as well as a messenger bot that answers questions about freelancing.

Pluto became the guide and voice of Freelance Planet, a knowledgeable and approachable friend. A chatbot through Facebook Messenger allows users to interact with Pluto and ask questions before deciding to download the desktop app.

To encourage interaction with Pluto the desktop app was designed to integrate seamlessly into the freelancer's work day and provide helpful prompts at the right time. Pluto's identity developed out of our team joking about poor Pluto being kicked out of the solar system so we wanted to keep its voice lighthearted and fun.
